A day in the life of legendary photographer PeterHujar. See more here:
I met Peter in 1956 when we were both in our early 20s. This was soon after he had moved in with the painter Joseph Raffael , who was then my closest friend and confidante, and it wasn't long before we became something of a triad. I found Peter intriguing — tall and handsome, shy and sly, looking at the world from out of the corner of his eye; already solidly committed to photography.
Yes, I don't know of anyone else who spent time with Rose Murphy . Peter didn't talk to me much about his childhood, which, in retrospect, is kind of strange in light of the abusive portrayal of it — and her — that has emerged since his death. But Peter was a master of compartmentalisation, consciously and carefully separating the different periods and elements of his life.
The Hujar book was part of a larger project that was very much conceived of as a prospective book. I asked a number of people to pick one day in their lives, take notes of everything they did that day and then meet with me to record their report. The first two I did were with Peter and Chuck Close — who happened to be in the process of painting my portrait that day. The Hujar"day" was never intended to be a book on its own, and its backstory involves a lot of serendipity.
There are a few things I can actually hear in his voice. Like him telling me once that he had two pieces of advice for me:One of the great virtues of the monologue is how it is"about" Peter yet without any self-indulgence. And although intellectuals, luminaries and other downtown peers pass through his chat, they are never name-dropped.
